Salsify, flesh only, raw

Salsify is a root vegetable. The figures here describe its raw flesh, with the ends trimmed. It consists mainly of water, with carbohydrate as its main energy-providing nutrient and small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, it provides 10g of carbohydrate, 0.3g of fat, 57µg of folate and 310mg of potassium.

Folate helps the body make red blood cells, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. Raw salsify contains little salt or fat. Cooking and adding ingredients such as salt, butter or sauces can change its nutritional content. Full nutrient figures for the raw vegetable are given in the tables below.
